AGENCY: U.S. Small Business Administration.
ACTION: Notice of intent to waive the nonmanufacturer rule for all
other miscellaneous electrical equipment and component manufacturing.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is considering
granting a request for a waiver of the Nonmanufacturer Rule for All
Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing.
According to the request, no small business manufacturers supply these
classes of products to the Federal government. If granted, the waiver
would allow otherwise qualified regular dealers to supply the products
of any domestic manufacturer on a Federal contract set aside for small
businesses; servicedisabled veteran-owned small businesses or SBA's
8(a) Business Development Program.
DATES: Comments and source information must be submitted January 14,
2008.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments and source information to Pamela M.
McClam, Program Analyst, U.S. Small Business Administration, Office of
Government Contracting, 409 3rd Street, SW., Suite 8800, Washington, DC

telephone at (202) 205-7408; by FAX at (202) 481-4783; or by e-mail at
Pamela.McClam@sba.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 8(a)(17) of the Small Business Act
(Act), 15 U.S.C. 637(a)(17), requires that recipients of Federal
contracts set aside for small businesses, service-disabled veteran-
owned small businesses, or SBA's 8(a) Business Development Program
provide the product of a small business manufacturer or processor, if
the recipient is other than the actual manufacturer or processor of the
product. This requirement is commonly referred to as the
Nonmanufacturer Rule. The SBA regulations imposing this requirement are
found at 13 CFR 121.406(b). Section 8(a)(17)(b)(iv) of the Act
authorizes SBA to waive the Nonmanufacturer Rule for any ``class of
products'' for which there are no small business manufacturers or
processors available to participate in the Federal market.
As implemented in SBA's regulations at 13 CFR 121.1202(c), in order
to be considered available to participate in the Federal market for a
class of products, a small business manufacturer must have submitted a
proposal for a contract solicitation or received a contract from the
Federal government within the last 24 months.
The SBA defines ``class of products'' based on six digit coding
system. The coding system is the Office of Management and Budget North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS).
